Be itknown that'I, SAUNDERS HUBBELL, Jr., of West Snlem,.in the county 'of Woynerin the `State of Ohio, have invented a. Money-Drawer Trendle; Vand Ido hereby 'declare that the following is a. fulland exect description thereof, references being .had to the accompanying drawings; and the letters oi' referencefmarlred thereon.

The nature oflmy invention consists ir an nrmngementof levers and rod, by .v'vliieh a.v catch is operated', which connects witlrtheA ba-ck part of n money-drawer,

-To enable others skilledin the .art to makennd u se my invention, Iwillproceed to describe its ioonstruction and operation. Y Y

Figui-e1 represents eside view ofthe device.. l Figure 2 represents 'an end view ot' the supporting-pieces for the levers. The positionot` this treadlefwheu iu use isson the door directly beneath the money-drwer.

D Irepresents theoor, and-F arstnndard, to'support the rod E. This standard may be 'dispensed with; and `the guide attached'tol the counter. The rod E passesthrough the plate s, at itsl lower end, end a-n orieeis provided `in the floor for the required movement.v A. spiral spring, m, surrounds this rod, and rests against the lever- A `end plate `s. This springv keeps the lever elevated 'as high as the overlapped condition of the leverswill admit.

A pin, @connects the lever. and rod. This rod is jointed or otherwise connected to e latch, which closes over i the back edge of the drmver. y

The pednl-leverB communicates with the lever A in the manner shown inthe drawing.

At C, figs. 1 and 2, is represented a support for the levers. This support is cast in two pieces, as shown z-xt iig. 2, this form being adapted to providing the holes rfor the pins n and o, which serve as: fulcra for' the levers.

This support is screwed to the floor by Wood-screws passing through the part '1d Operation: The lever B, being pressed .down by the foot, lowers the further end of lever A, carrying with"` it the rod E; which movement disengages a. catch-from the money-drawer. When'the foot is removed, the spring raises the levers to former position7 and this throws.the latch andfastens the drawer. I

What I claim as lily invention, :ind desire to secure by 'Letters Patent, is-, i The combination and arrangementof t'heflevetrs and B, the fulcrum-'support C, and spring m, or its eqnivalent, in the manner sbstantially'es "described, and for the purpose specified.
